Control WHEN mail is sent

Hi,
I am very new and just making the transition from PC 2 Mac. This is my question:
In MS Outlook I can control when an email is sent so that it sits in the “out basket” until you decide to send it. This way you can write all your emails and then send them when you are ready t. To me this is very important as more than once I decided to amend or even delete a letter after I had written it (this is especially important when writing an email when angry). Nothing could be worse than sending a letter that you later thought better of but was too late to take back.
I note that there is a “draft” mode but this is not really helpful because then when I want to send I would have to send each letter individually rather than in a batch.
*Is there no similar way in “Mail” to control when I send mail? I note I can control when I receive mail, why not when I send it.*
Thank you for your time.
Shyama

Thanks. That is too bad, one would think that an "out box" would be a standard feature in any email program but I guess not in "Mail" *if anybody from Apple is listening they should do the needful ASAP as I am sure it would require a minimal effort to get this kind of functionality that is available in other programs.*
I will take a look at that script you pointed me to but I will probably go with Thunderbird instead as this feature is available right out of the box.
Again, thank you for your help.

    How to get the swoosh sound back when mail gets sent?

    I'm talking about my iMac desktop. I have OSX 10.9.5. I used to hear the swoosh sound when I sent an e-mail. Suddenly it's gone, and I can't find out how to get it back. I miss it!

  • Since I installed Mavericks I seem to have lost the comforting whooooosh that I used to hear when mail was sent.

    Since I installed Mavericks I have lost the comforting whooosh I used to get when mail is sent.  And I cant find anything in the preferences to get it back.

    This happens to me a lot.  Quiting Mail, and re-launching brings it back (looks like a bug)

  • TS4002 not showing when mail is sent

    I have two question.  The first is why is it that when I sent mail or forward, or reply, I have no record of this in my sent box.  This is very frustrating because, I have no way of knowing if someone received my emails, nor do I have any record for myself.  I just switched from mobile me, and I really miss the convience of this and not logging in and seeing my icon at bottom of screen.  Also when I go to icloud, I can't sync my keynote, pages and other programs that are already on my desktop with the icloud documents, they want me to purchase apts???????

    Message window
    In Tiger, the message window does dissappear when you click Send. That is normal behavior on my system, anyway.
    Indication of Message sending and sent
    After you click Send, the word "Sent" beside the paper airplane icon in Mail's side bar changes to "Sending..." and an indicator dial (radial array of lines which blink on and off in sequence to simulate rotation) spins beside the word "Sending" until the message is sent. At the end of sending, the word Sending changes to Sent and the confirm Alert sounds. Default Alert sound is that jet airplane swish which travels as stereo demonstration from left speaker to right. Your message is added to the list in your Sent mailbox.
    Message sent Alert sound not heard
    I don't know why you don't hear the sound Here are more things to check: There are several places to change sound settings, as you noted. One you may have missed is the keyboard sound controls. You don't list your system, but on a laptop, press F3 to toggle mute, F4 to decrease volume, F5 to increase. Desktop Apple keyboards have dedicated keys for sound - the keys with speaker graphics on them. You may have inadvertently muted sound or turned it low with your keyboard. Toggleing Mute with the keyboard would check/uncheck the Output Mute Checkbox system preference sound panes. Keystroke changes to sound volume also update in system prefs. So you may have some other issue.
    Good luck, hope this helps.

  • How do I make sounds when messages are Sent?

    I used to hear a "whoosh" when mail actually sent.  It disappeared.  How do I make it happen again?  Thank you

    I checked and it is checked to play sounds for mail actions.  So I unchecked it, then rechecked it.  Still no go.  Funny thing is it works just fine on the iPad
    Any other ideas?

  • Turned on computer email said i needed new account when I have been using for years (no mail, drafts, sent)

    Turned on computer email said I needed new account when I have been using for years (no mail, drafts, sent). I filled oyt new mail setup and it only found my mail not drafts and sent ... I use drafts to store documents and sent in a leser capacity - Ihave huge data in drafts.  Tried to restore using time machine (never had to before). The backups are there but the restore button does not highlight??? So when you clickit nothing happens.

    Restoring Mail is complex. Luckily, the late James Pond left us an illustrated guide:
    You can restore the Mail messages and indexes to the way they were (provided you have a Backup from around that time)

  • Questions for the time when a mail is sent and arrives

    Hi, all
    I have a few questions for OCS but I can't find any informaiton for them.
    My customer asked me how to know the time when a mail is sent to and arrives a destination mailbox from the OCS database. My Questions are...
    1)
    There are two columns - 'INTERNAL_DATE' and 'RFC822_DATE' - in 'ES_HEADER' table that seem related to sending date. What is the difference between them?
    2)
    Can I know the time when a mail arrives the recipient's mailbox (or mail server) from the OCS database?
    3)
    What does the column 'RECEIVED_DATE' in ES_ENVELOPE table mean?
    I would appreciate if anyone lets me know links or websites where I can get informatin.
    (or if give answers to me directly, I would appreciate so much!)
    Thanks in advance.

  • Hi, We have a problem opening email attachments, specifically word, when the mail is sent from an Entourage client.

    It seems the mail is sent in plain text and when I try to open the attachment on my phone i just get a screen with the document name and type. If I send a plain text mail from my outlook client with the same attachment then this works fine.
    Is there anything I can do to make these attachments open on my iPhone?
    Thanks in advance

  • Upon opening Mail this morning to check when I'd sent a draft I wrote yesterday, I noticed all my sent messages are missing.

    Upon opening Mail this morning to check when I'd sent a draft I wrote yesterday, I noticed all my sent messages are missing. I had mail dating back ten years in there. When I go to Time Machine to restore, only today's Sent Mailbox is available. Time Machine has been backing up seamlessly for months, so there should not be a problem finding a backup. What's going on and how do I restore the Sent Mailbox?
    I am using 10.7.4 on a MacBook Pro
    Laura

    Unless your TM drive is messed up, the backups should be there. So relax a bit.
    The mail is stored in your Home Library folder, not the hard drive Library folder. The Home Library folder is hidden in Lion. To get to it, select Go in the Finder and hold the option key down. Select Library in the submenu. A Finder window will open up in your Home Library.
    From there, you will navigate to the Mail folder, then V2 folder. All main mailboxes for each account will be in their account folder. There is another folder called Mailboxes which will store all local folders.
    If you select the V2 folder in the Finder window, then enter TM, you should be able to go back into time.
    Before doing anything else, first open Disk Utility and verify that your hard drive is OK.
    If it is, go into the hard drive and navigate to the Home Library/Mail/V2 folder. Open each mail account and click on the mailbox your messages were in, like the inbox. See if the messages folder contains messages.
    I just want you to see if the mailboxes are in the account folders and that they contain data. If so, we will continue from there. There's no use in trying to restore if there are problems just yet. Let's verify this first, then we will proceed.

  • When deleting a user created folder from On My Mac in Mac Mail the sent messages that are part of conversations that reside there are not deleted, only the received mail gets deleted.

    When deleting a user created folder from On My Mac in Mac Mail the sent messages that are part of conversations that reside there are not deleted, only the received mail gets deleted. Any way for both the received and sent mail that resides there to be deleted?
    I create a lot of project folders where i keep all my conversations regarding the project. Once the project is finished i would like to just delete the folder and get rid of all the emails associated with it but when i delete the folder i've noticed that only received messages are deleted. Now I am stuck trying to sort through my sent folder for messages that were returned there after the conversations was supposedly deleted.

    Mail/Preferences/Viewing - un-check include related messages, delete the folder, then go back and reset yo include.

  • My apple ID was there but when hit reseting password no mail were sent

    You should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you. They will verify your identity (you might be asked to answer the security questions you set) and send a reset email or if unsuccessful they will pass you to the security team to reset it for you.

  • How can I view customer information from SOST report to whom mail was sent to?

    Process I have followed:
    I run F.27 transaction to send the monthly account statements to customer, I can see the detail of the mails sent to customers from SOST report but a recent requirement has come up and I want to see the detail of customer e.g. Customer Number, Customer Name e.t.c. these details are not visible in SOST report. As I am sending mail to multiple customers hence I can not use the display document feature to view them independently.
    In SOST report I can see only the email address to whom the mail was sent to, but how can I see the customer's number or Customer name to whom mail was sent to. Is there any other way to view this detail?

    This works! But when I assign C_FINAA-MAIL_BODY_TEXT to a text lets say:
    *C_FINAA-MAIL_BODY_TEXT in the process exit 2310*
    C_FINAA- MAIL_BODY_TEXT = 'Hello'.
    It does not display in the email body, do you know what might be the problem here?

  • Why can't I see mail I sent from my iPhone on any other device?

    I've had a mac.com email address for many years now, on my iPhone and my Mac (running Lion now).
    Here's the problem -- when I check INBOXES from device to device the contents are always the same (i.e. synced), but this is not so with SENT mail. It appears only on the device from which I sent it. This is very annoying since I run my business from this account and need access to my communications wherever I am.
    Gmail of course provides full sync of sent messages by default, and this works perfectly from my iPhone, desktop, etc. The same is true for other cloud-based email services like Hotmail etc. It seems strange to me that Apple mail would be the one service not to provide sync of sent mail.
    Why aren't the SENT messages synced? Can anybody help me configure it?
    (Thanks in advance for your help.)

    I'm assuming the account is setup as an iCloud email address under the iCloud settings?
    On your phone:  Try looking in settings >> iCloud >> account >> mail >> advanced >> sent mailbox.  Is there a check in the on my iPhone section or the server section?  You want the server.
    I'm not on my mac at the moment, so I can't say off the top of my head where to look on your Mac.  But maybe mail menu >> preferences >> accounts >> mailbox behaviors?

  • SUS - MM Scenario: notification mail not sent to all Supplier Users

    Hi,
    we're in a SUS-MM scenario and we publish Purchasing documents (PO and/or SAR) to SUS portal.
    The notification mail for new published documents are sent only to the e-mail address of the Supplier (imported from SAP to SUS) which is in the SAP Supplier Master data. But if the Admin supplier creates other users for the supplier (F1 / F2 / F3), the notification mail for new published PO/SAR are not sent to the mail address of F1 / F2 / F3 users. Is it the standard behavior or is there some missing customizing setting missing?
    Our customer wants that notification mail are sent to all the mail addresses of the Supplier Users.
    Has someone had this kind of requirement? and, if it is not achievable via standard customizing, which could be the right solution to meet this requirement?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    This is a standard SAP process which SAP has provided,
    The other way is to develop a custom program,
    1) Select the Supplier.
    2) Check the available contact persons of the Supplier.
    3) When a document is created in ECC (Hope you are in MM-SUS), select the list of contact persons for Supplier. (I assume need a RFC FM to develop to SUS)
    4) Send a e-mail to all users linked with this Supplier.
    You can find the linked Contact persons in BP transaction and Table BUT000.
    Please change the Status of the Issue once your problem solved, other will get benefitted. If possible post the soulution.
    Thank you,
    Anil
